Mistakes made by students in Map questions
A few students mentioned the names of the continents in the ocean region and the names of the oceans in the continental region in the world map. A student marked the places to be marked in the Indian picture in the world picture and the places to be marked in the world picture in the Indian picture.
Most of the students had marked the names of the continents interchangeably.
Reasons for students' mistakes
It was investigated why students made such mistakes despite adequate training in drawing. It was assumed that the students might have committed such mistakes due to lack of continuous training and reinforcement and the reasons for the mistakes were compiled by discussing with the students.
It was found that only during the social studies class students had access to the map.
Only the names of the continents are remembered. Four students noted that the location of the continents was confusing when looking at the picture.
What are the continents? What are the oceans? Two students said that they were confused.
Three students noted that there is frequent confusion about which is the Arabian Sea and which is the Bay of Bengal on Indian maps.
From their statement it can be seen that students do not give the same importance to diagrams as they do to answers.
It is also not clear that the students do not realize the need for maps.
Strategies to reduce students' mistakes in map questions
Before mitigating the above mistakes, let us explain the necessity of diagrams in order to make students interested in diagrams. Let's take a look at how maps are used in our daily life.
With the help of world globe, maps, maps, showing the location of major countries, continents, seas, major cities, students can becalled individually and asked to show specific areas. Gradually, such exercises can be done in groups with the help of peers.
Students can avoid forgetfulness by hanging the diagrams on the classroom wall and making them visible to the students. Students can be provided with separate training manuals for drawing and practicing the procedures
First the students were explained about the necessity of the map. After that it was explained how maps are useful for us.
Necessity of map
By developing drawing skills, students can visualize and remember lesson concepts. It was explained to the students that maps are necessary to know about the natural resources of a country, borders of the country, state, capitals, major cities and major roads.
Uses of Maps
Today maps are used in many fields. Especially in the military sector they identify places with the help of maps. Tourists get to know new places with the help of maps. You can get to know about many countries of the world and their natural systems through the map. The students were informed about the benefits of drawing etc. Exercises provided In order to improve the drawing ability of the students, basic exercises were given in the building (Let's know the drawing ability?) provided by the educational movement.
* Look closely at the shapes of continents, countries, states and find out which ones are similar and write the names.
* As an orientation exercise, draw arrows pointing in different directions and tell the direction the arrows are pointing.
* By teaching the method of telling the locations of countries with dashed lines and vertical lines, students learned about the directions, sizes and locations of countries on maps through the above exercises.
Also the series was trained with maps, maps and globes. After a week of training, the drawing ability of the students was tested.
Sufficient progress was seen in the examination. This was realized by comparing the marks obtained by the students on the drawing questions in the quarterly examination with the marks obtained after the continuous reinforcement exercises.
Students are continuously coached by their team leaders. Similarly, the concerned teachers have been advised through the Headmaster to provide reinforcement training to the students with low drawing skills in other classes. Teachers teaching other subjects are advised to use diagrams when necessary.
Steps have been taken to hang maps of the world and India in the respective classrooms in such a way that the students can see them.
